Goodnight Football

(4) PS Sports Illustrated Kids series. Illustrated by Christina Forshay. Rhyming text narrates a boy's trip to an evening football game. As the game comes to an exciting end, he bids farewell: "Goodnight mascot. We'll come back soon. / Goodnight goalposts. Goodnight moon." Colorful illustrations burst with the orange of bright lights, softened by midnight blue. The football-centered verse is often strained, but the fun of the loving family's outing comes through.
